Chapter 331: You are a good official

The peasant stared blankly at the copper coins scattered on the table, still dripping and circling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 By the time he came back to his senses, Su Shi had already walked out of the door.

He violently pulled off all the copper coins with his clothes, rushed out of the door, and shouted, "Baby, I can't ask for your money anymore!" ”

Su Shi said without looking back: "You said what I want to know, this is what you deserve!" ”

The cadets of the Royal Military Academy, who were walking behind, also smiled and said to him: "Take it, what you say is for you." Hey, this man, rich! ”

The peasant looked at their distant backs, holding a pocket of copper coins, and muttered, "Good man......"

Most of the people in this group have never seen such a world. In order to survive, he even had to sell his own children. I heard that in troubled times, in order to survive, they ate for children, but they didn't believe it. But when the facts were in front of them, they had to believe it.

A group of people, walking in silence, each full of hearts. After walking silently for a while, Qin Ming suddenly asked, "If their fields are gone, what will they rely on to survive?" ”

Su Shi came back from his contemplation, he looked around, at this moment, the autumn breeze was cool, it was the autumn harvest season. The mountains are all over the wilderness, all of them are golden yellow, which is pleasing to the eye. I suddenly remembered a song "Shuo Mouse" in the "Book of Songs", and immediately sang it: "Shuo Mouse Shuo Mouse, no food for me!" Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. The dying woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, what do I have? Rats and rats, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight? Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number? ”

Although Qin Ming and others didn't understand it very well, the helplessness and attachment to life in the poem still infected them. Su Shi sang it in the way of singing, and taught him with music, Qin Ming and they could also understand it, which is the charm of music.

In the Book of Rites and Music, it is said: "The musicians are the same, the etiquette is different, the same is a blind date, and the difference is respectful." In the religion of etiquette, the harmony of music is taught. Confucius also proposed "self-denial and revenge", and the core part of the Zhou ritual is music.

This singing voice was inspired by Su Shi's feelings, and it directly made people cry. At this moment, what Su Shi was thinking in his heart was who was the big rat? Su Shi already had the answer in his heart, is he a landlord? But when these peasant households were desperate, the landlord gave them a way to live! Are they themselves guilty of their own crimes, and they have too many children? Su Shi thought that only two of his six brothers and sisters survived, and this person's great desire is the instinct of human beings to survive and reproduce. "Could it be that what Confucius said is still wrong?

When Su Shi delved deeper, he seemed to have touched a taboo, could it be that the imperial power was the biggest big mouse? Su Shi didn't dare to think about it, Confucianism often thought, and he didn't dare to think about it in this way. If there is no one in a country, the people's hearts will be scattered, can this country still be called a country? One must build on a firm foundation? Without a country, how can a home be called a home?

Su Shi's heart was disturbed, and he found that real life seemed to smash what he had learned one by one mercilessly. How will the great rule of the sage be realized in this increasingly complex society?

Thinking of this, Su Shi stopped, looked at the grass and trees that were already bleak after the autumn wind, and was confused for a while.

Seeing that Su Shi was stunned, Qin Ming hurriedly shook him and said, "Su Dacai, are you okay?" ”

After Su Shi was woken up by him, he smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, let's go......"

After the group walked out more than a dozen steps, Qin Ming saw that it was almost noon, and there were not many farmers above Qianmo, so he said in a low voice: "Su Dacaizi, don't be like this. I believe that you are a good official who cares about the life and death of the people. Well, the saint is also a good emperor, and since he was in power, he has repeatedly reduced taxes and won the hearts of the people. And what I just saw is just an example. I believe that there will not be too many such farmers in the world! ”

Su Shi said in a daze: "Good official? Good officer? What makes a good officer? To be the master of the people, or to let the people live? ”

When Qin Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "Su Dacai, even I can think of things that I can understand, why can't you think about it?" I also ate food for the sake of mixed food, so I became a soldier to eat food. Previously, there were nine brothers and sisters in the family, and I was the oldest, and the family had nothing to eat. If you are a soldier, you can still have something to eat, and you won't starve to death. In the past few years, I have been home three times, and the fifth, eighth, and ninth children have all died of illness. The second child went out to farm for the old man in the village, and he could still make a living; The third, sixth, and seventh sisters are all married. The conditions are not bad, at least not as poor as my family. After I was transferred to the Royal Military Academy, I was paid more money, and I gave some money every month to the fourth child who was still at home, and I supported my father and mother for a hundred years. Isn't this the end of this person's life? Su Dacaizi, this person has hands and feet, he has no food to eat, and he has to live begging. I heard that the students in the Royal Roads University, the last stop of the road, are not also from bitter backgrounds? The Holy One took pity on them, so he set up this Royal University and gave them a way to live. Hey, when I was a child, I listened to the old people in the village talk about the previous dynasty, in the year of famine, the people who starved to death were all one by one, like cutting wheat, not a few villages, but a prefecture, a state, a road starving to death. Those old men who hid food at home refused to take a little bit out to save those villagers...... At that time, it was a miserable time, people at that time, they ate everything, the wild vegetables on the mountain, the roots, bark, leaves, and finally even the Guanyin soil in front of the temple, swallowed in their stomachs. Listening to the old man, after eating Guanyin soil, he had abdominal distension after eating, and finally he was tortured to death...... Fortunately, Taizu was benevolent and righteous, killed those old men who were not benevolent to the rich, opened a warehouse and released grain, and the people in my village were able to survive......"

The student behind him listened, and said in an accent of river and south road: "Isn't it, I heard what Li Zheng in my village said, thanks to Taizu who took over the country, otherwise we Han people, I don't know how many people will have to die!" ”

Qin Ming sighed, patted Su Shi's shoulder, and said, "Su Dacai, your name is known to the world, and in terms of knowledge, I can't compare to you." But there is some truth, I have lived more than ten years longer than you, and I always see it more thoroughly. As long as the current saint insists on not giving it for three years, then the peace of the world is a sure thing. You are a great talent, don't think too much, this is what the Holy One should do......"

Su Shi shook his head and said: "Fan Xiang once wrote in "The Story of Yueyang Tower", 'If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its monarch. But when will it be? It must be said that the worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy'......"

Before the words could be finished, an old voice continued: "Wow! Weisi people, who am I with? (To be continued.) )
